I discovered the Default View feature; this is useful if you have lots of people on your friend list and don’t want to read them all, all the time. I already had a filter-group set up for this, so I just renamed it to “Default View”. I actually read most of the folks I have marked as “friends” but there are a couple folks I wanted to include as friends just so they could see any friends-only entries.

Hello, not much going on. I haven’t had much time to write, probably because I have been more tired than usual. I have been waking up tired, despite going to bed at a reasonable time. Nothing serious, I think it’s just because the air mattress has gone a bit soft. P.S. All the media-driven frenzy regarding “9/11 memorial” can go to Hell, thank you. I prefer to remember a bit, perhaps forget a bit, but I will do so in my own way. I don’t appreciate all you TV, newspaper and radio folks trying to sell more media pre-empting normal shows and trying to be the Most Sensitive, Most In-Depth, Most Whatever 9/11 anniversary memorial Thing. ...

I just added a couple folks to my friends list. No, I don’t think we have met, but we have some friends in common and some shared interests, so this is one way to say HI.

Yay, I cleaned my desk! Of course now I have a crapload of filing to do, so cross off one item and add one more. This is sort of like progress, I guess.

Installed air conditioner (temporary installation, involves cardboard and packing tape. Made dinner. Did the rest of the dishes. Updated to-do list. Failed to do curtains, mainly because it’s phucking hot and the AC got bumped up in priority. Oh and M and I got this new diet/exercise plan, called something like the Six Week Total Body Makeover. It allows you to customize exercise and diet to your particular body style. For me it’s a minor variation on “Eat a reasonable balance, watch portion sizes, and do something aerobic to burn fat” since I didn’t really want to shape my body or bulk up, though there are some shaping exercises I might do. For M there are more exercises and a diet that’s about the same with slightly smaller portions. Anyway, it should be interesting.
